The Biophilia Tracker makes disease preventable and controllable

Over the next 10 to 20 years, the focus of health care will shift from treating disease to maintaining health. Now, people only go to the doctor when they are sick, and the doctor is in a passive position, which is very bad for treatment. The general public has limited understanding of medical knowledge and often ignores abnormal symptoms of the body. And some inconspicuous symptoms are likely to be warnings from the body and precursors to serious diseases. As a result, some patients miss the best time for treatment, and more and more doctors recommend that people bring their own Biophilia Tracker, so that even if the patient is in a remote place, the test can be taken at any time.

The data is transmitted to the doctor, thus taking the initiative to prevent the occurrence of the disease.

In the near future, the medical model will be more reasonable, making diseases preventable and controllable.

The cost of medical care in the United States continues to rise, but the health problems of the people have not improved. Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans, obesity is common, and diabetes rates continue to rise. Most of these conditions are caused by poor lifestyle habits, including smoking, unhealthy diet and lack of exercise.

However, disease prevention has not been paid attention to, and the government has not introduced relevant measures to guide and encourage people to adopt a healthier lifestyle. The starting point of the U.S. health care system is to treat disease, not prevent it before it occurs.

Cosgrove is an experienced heart surgeon. "We should change direction from treating disease to maintaining health," he said, which is also at the heart of Obama's health care reform. When drafting the health care reform bill, Obama cited the Cleveland Hospital as one of the prime examples, "Mayo in Minnesota and Cleveland in Ohio provide the highest quality health care at a cost of care below the national average. We Advanced experience must be learned from it.”

Now, Cleveland Hospital has expanded the program to 10 other sister hospitals, some in Ohio and Florida, as well as in Canada and the United Arab Emirates. People who participated in the program started to think about health as an investment and a responsibility.

Cosgrove hopes that this kind of health project can go out of the hospital and into the community and company. Cosgrove believes that companies should put more emphasis on the health of their employees. After the company is equipped with the Biophilia Tracker , employees can perform physical examinations anytime, anywhere, and the company can better enhance the physical fitness of employees and provide job drop rates. This allows employees to take fewer sick days, work more efficiently, and the company does not need to spend much money, which is beneficial and harmless.
